    Drink drive

    I've only ever ridden a throttle based legal bike when only a bit drunk I found 15 mph ridiculous hard to control and fell of damaging myself and bike ( no where near busy traffic I might add) Walking , no problem. Engaging in coherent conversion, no problem. Riding a bike fast , disaster! A...

    Batteries

    Standardisation works well for consumers when the product is standard. I'm thinking mobile phones here - a phone is a phone is a phone regardless of. how smart it is. Standardisation is in consumer interest and environmental interest. Other than Apple's profit margin there is no good reason for...

    Advice on Wiring

    What Kit do you have. The newer/nicer ones have neat waterproof connectors but older/ cheaper ones have a mess of cheap connectors. I use small frame triangle bag to house my controller, all connections and an small booster battery pack) It looks neat and ismore or less waterproof. And cheap...

    Urban Myth? 36 volt batteries feeding 24 volt hub motor.

    I'd agree with that But if you have a good 24v battery you can test 36v relatively cheaply by going down the booster battery route and adding a 3s (11.1v) battery made if 18650 cells. I get mine for free from laptop repair shops or drill packs That way you only risk your controller

    110v conversion for 36v Macallister battery charger?

    If you can get away with a 150w it's much smaller A powerful enough 12v inverter seems even bigger ? You are right - not all equal but as long as lithium specific and rated at 36v ( so 42v output) and you test with a multimeter should all be ok

    It has started already.

    Hi flecc Sure this is true of nexus hubs and even the alfine 11 But the alfine 8 is bombproof Do you experiece of crank drives wearing out these too ? Fair enough if so but I am surprised

    110v conversion for 36v Macallister battery charger?

    Sorry for the rambling ! Assuming a 2.5a 36v charger you need 105w So best to double that and get a 200w converter...

    110v conversion for 36v Macallister battery charger?

    Just looked at nano website and it looks like repurposed drill batteries are used Just buying a step up transformer seems the simplest option in this case http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=311253196683

    110v conversion for 36v Macallister battery charger?

    Actually I am assuming that both your old and new packs are lithium, 36v and have a BMS for option 1 to work

    110v conversion for 36v Macallister battery charger?

    Two suggestions for you 1. Use you old charger (any 36v lithium charger can charge any 36v lithium battery, ) just cut off the connector and solder a new one on. Maplin stock most. Post photos of your old charger and new battery socket and I'll help, no worries 2. Buy a US to UK step up...

    LED panel question - 880 vs 810 (4wire and 5 wire)

    Panda haveb again been super responsive. They had replied by 8.30am today and are sending a new controller and panel out without quibble Stuff does go wrong - it's the service that makes the difference. So far I'm impressed with theirs

    LED panel question - 880 vs 810 (4wire and 5 wire)

    Tried all that to no avail But I can be certain the issue is with the controller/panel from panda Whilst looking for solder I found my original 8 fun, 14a 36v controller. Hooked this up and worked straight away. Pretty gutless now but at least I'm back on road with my 36v pack ! Will take it...
